The Met Office has issued a warning after Danish meteorologists name Storm Otto which will soon hit the UK.
It is believed by forecasters that Storm Otto will push into the east across the far north of the country in the early hours of Friday morning bringing with it winds as high as 75mph. Particular attention is being advised in coastal areas where there is a likelihood of large waves, potentially damaging buildings and infrastructure.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “Storm Otto will bring high winds and rain to the UK, with some northern parts of Scotland and the northeast of England likely to get the strongest gusts of wind, possibly in excess of 75mph.
